I chose Cherry Trees for my dad as they had previously lovingly cared for Mum. At exceptionally short notice (same day), they accommodated my father, who urgently required 24/7 palliative care/end-of-life support.
Dad's care is/remains exceptional; he is extremely comfortable in Cherry Trees and enjoys
his large room with south facing aspect and garden view. The staff constantly involve me in any decision-making relating to Dad's medicines/care, always considering what's best for him to ensure he is comfortable.
The 'Young at Heart' floor is clean, light, bright, airy and modern. The rooms are all large, and the staff are plentiful. Dad enjoys many a happy moment relaxing in the deluxe spa bath with bubbles covering the entire floor!
Whilst I can't name everyone, I do want to personally highlight the main team, who are caring for Dad and supporting me; plus it would be remiss of me not to recognise the daily welcoming, smiling faces of those on reception.

After fighting for over a year to get my mom out of this place, she's so much happier. Cherry Trees need more training to deal with people with dementia, they would rather sedate them than deal with them, they are not honest with you, they tell you what you want to hear and then do the opposite. If
you have an LPA for a resident here good luck with getting paperwork from them, I was refused paperwork for the whole 2 years my mom was there. The home is poorly run and the staff back the general manager with lies, the cleanliness of the place needs 100% improvement.
My mom was neglected, her room was disgusting and the smell of faeces as you enter from the lift is disgusting.
I would advise not putting a family member in this care home.

Reply from Jane Longstaff, Divisional Sales and Marketing Manager ' North at Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home

Thank you for taking the time to write a review about Cherry Trees Care Home, we were sorry to read your comments. We are aware that you shared concerns with Cherry Trees about mom’s stay. As you know, your concerns are being looked into as part of our formal complaints process and a full response to your comments is due to be shared with you shortly and the reasons for the information delays were explained clearly to you and very complex. The team at Cherry Tree’s did all they could to support mom's care needs but sadly as communicated with you and other parties involved it was not possible to meet your mom's care needs at the home, despite the specialist training undertaken. This decision was made as we understand how important it is to care for individuals to a high standard, we are sorry you feel this wasn’t your experience and are pleased to see your mom is happy in her new home. Kind Regards, Barchester’s Customer Feedback Department.

My mum is 88 with Parkinson's, poor eyesight (macular degeneration) and is frail but alert, with a great personality and sense of humour. She went into Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home apprehensively for an initial week's respite stay to give my father (principal carer at home) a break and we are likely
to repeat this with further respite breaks before a more permanent move. The carers and nursing staff were excellent (as were the catering and office support staff) and cared so well for my mum throughout but also engaged with her actively and got her involved with relevant activities and chatting with other residents. One of the nurses phoned to let me know she had detected a urine infection but had already called the doctor and arranged for antibiotics for Mum. We couldn't have asked for more and I have no hesitation in recommending Cherry Trees based on our experience - the carers and nurses were fantastic throughout and truly cared and that was reflected in the tailored approach they took.

Reply from Debbie Osborne, General Manager at Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home

It was lovely having your mum here and we are delighted that she was so happy. We strive to give person-centred approach to all our residents and families and we looking forward to your mum coming to us again. Thank you.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5

Cherry Trees is well led by an able manager whose organizing principle is the pursuit of excellence in all CQC standards. A very good staff team, some outstanding, are directed to treat each resident as a V.I.P. entitled to expect the same level of care and support as if they were living in their own
home; to deliver, with empathy and respect for dignity, care centred on the needs of each resident. The manager is generous in her praise of staff who demonstrate leadership and consistent best practice care procedures as a matter of instinct. This recognition is important in a setting where family members want to feel confident that their loved one can rely upon outstanding care when suffering the debilitating effects of physical and mental illness. The manager emphasizes this expectation and encourages staff to pursue personal development training to enhance effective care delivery, and further their career possibilities. In turn, staff are well motivated, polite and cheerful.

Reply from Deb Osborne, General Manager at Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home

Thank you for your praise and acknowledgements of the management team and the staff. We strive to provide an environment that not only treats the residents with dignity and respect but also the relatives are treated equally as well.
Thank you, Debbie

My mother has been at Cherry Trees for a number of years. Mother has full capacity and did not wish to leave her home but understands that this cannot be the case and so Cherry Trees is the best option. On admission, my mother had a grade 4 pressure sore and with the care and attention of the staff
this has now totally healed and her skin remains intact to date. It's not easy to have to make these decisions but the ambience and surroundings give an uplift to myself and those that visit. The interaction of the staff with myself and Mum is dignified, communication at times could have been improved through the lockdown but the team listen to my concerns and a response is always given.
Improvements have been made; may these continue.

My stepmother has now been in residence at the Cherry Trees Alcester for the past four years. I have absolutely no reservations in stating that Mother is always treated with care, respect and dignity. I always find the staff, without exception, cheerful, caring and professional, from the visible 'front
of house' nurses and carers to the 'backroom' team of unsung heroes of housekeeping, chefs, admin and estate maintenance, all well led by an able and sympathetic management team.
When issues very occasionally arise, they always receive a prompt response.
Mum is extremely happy at Cherry Trees; she has nil mobility, and is extremely well cared for and enjoys the food immensely.
Finally, I must congratulate the staff on the home environment; the home is clean and airy, and the gardens are beautifully kept, like a five-star hotel, and the many thoughtful activities providing stimulus to the residents are first rate!

My mother-in-law has been a resident here for three and a half years, for the first year and a half with my father-in-law. The service and care given is fantastic. The staff and mamangement clearly care about all their residents and go above and beyond to make sure they all feel like it is their home.
The activities that are available everyday are varied, fun and imaginative and you can see from the residents faces that they thoroughly enjoy themselves. There are also weekly trips out which can be enjoyed by everyone. The management team are friendly and approachable and will go out of their way to help. Would highly recommend Cherry Trees.

My sister has been a resident at Cherry Trees for approximately three years, originally with my brother-in-law before his death a couple of years ago. She has dementia but is settled there and happy. The current staff are excellent, there are regular activities for the residents, and they always seem
to be up to some sort of fun. I know my sister takes part and really enjoys herself. She loved her garden and spends time outside; it seems as though nothing is too much trouble when the resident’s welfare is concerned. Thank you, Cherry Trees, for making her life so comfortable.

My dad has been up on Memory Lane at Cherry Trees for just over a year, having been moved from a care home in Cornwall. Getting the council to agree that he should be near his family proved to be far more challenging than we ever imagined, but the manager was available to support us at the many multi-disciplinary
meetings that it took to get this done. We were told that his behaviour was too challenging for Cherry Trees to cope with and that the journey alone, would shorten his life. I am pleased to say that not only he is still with us, but he is thriving, as much as he can with advanced dementia, under their exemplary care. There have been no issues with any challenging behaviour, and as a non-clinical end-of-life care trainer myself, I know what great care looks like. Cherry Trees is it. There are activities every day, and the team does their absolute best for the residents and their families. I am always made to feel like I am part of the Cherry Trees team every time I go.

My husband spent just two weeks respite at Cherry Trees and came home with serious pressure sores. He had no sign of pressure sores anywhere on his body as a body check was carried out at home prior to admission. A district nurse and his carers at home can testify to that. No one from the home contacted
me during his stay to say that there was a problem at any time. Nearly three months later the heels are still being treated and have yet to heal. I have contacted the home and Barchester head office several times and have been fobbed off, I have never received an explanation let alone an apology.

We arranged an outside visit for three adults and one child, aware that this would mean the use of a 'pod' in the event of poor weather. On arrival (we were prompt), staff did not seem to be aware that a visit was booked (this has been a feature of most of our visits) and it was several minutes before
the bell was answered. We were then advised that an external pod was now in use for such visits. On arrival at this pod, we found the power was not connected. It has no external windows so it was dark and cold, and no one knew how to connect the power. Your staff arrived with our relative about 15 minutes after our arrival and was inadequately protected in view of the poor weather. I had to return to reception three times to get someone to switch the power on, which eventually happened about 40 minutes after our arrival. With no staff immediately available, we brought our relative back to her room as she was shivering, and had to wait in the rain at the gate as we were given the wrong access code.

Reply from Debbie Osborne, General Manager at Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home

I am so sorry that this happened to you on your visit and I can assure you that we do everything we can to make people feel welcome. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have happened on this occasion, I have addressed all of your issues and I can assure you that this will not happen again. If you would like to contact me further to discuss I would like to be able to listen to your concerns and reassure you that we do always try to provide dignified care for all. Kind regards

Now that my mother has settled into Cherry Trees and we as a family are adjusting to her being in residential care, I can not praise the Manager and her team enough. They have worked so hard to build a caring and supportive relationship with my mother who, in fairness due to her MND, has quite demanding
and complex needs. Everyone within the Cherry Trees team has worked so hard to meet our expectations, provide support and reassurance and to facilitate all of the external health professional visits needed. The home itself is comfortable, welcoming and of a high standard. I feel confident that my mother is well cared for and feeling more at ease within her new surroundings. I would add that, as a frequent visitor, the team are always patient, helpful and welcoming to me personally as well which provides great reassurance.

My dad has only been on Memory Lane since the end of December 2021. However, during this short period of time, the care he has received has been outstanding. The home has a very friendly atmosphere and there is always someone available to speak to me when I visit. The decision to move dad to a nursing
home was emotionally difficult but I know it was the right decision and that he is being extremely well looked after.
I did have a few issues with getting dad into care at first but have to say the Manager, has been exceptional.
It's not easy having a parent in care and relying on other people to look after them but I know dad is in the best possible place and will receive the best care possible.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.689)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.689) out of 10 for Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 14 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.9 out of 5 from 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.825 for Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (138 Excellents x 5) + (27 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 166 Ratings = 4.825

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 4.864 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Barchester Cherry Trees Care Home is based on 14 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 81 registered maximum number of service users is 16.2. 14 Positive Reviews ÷ 16.2 = 0.864

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Job Title: General Manager

Joined: 2019

Having initially joined Cherry Trees as the Head of Care. After a career in teaching and caring for children, my promotion to General Manager of Cherry Trees Care Home has enriched my passion for ensuring our resident's specific care and nursing needs are met and are the core of the wonderful work the team does here.


Staff training and development is of the utmost importance to me, as a qualified trainer for Barchester Healthcare, I ensure that our team are up-to-date with the latest research, policies and best practices, so that I can enhance the quality of care delivered throughout the home.


I am committed to the delivery of person-centred care and focus on what residents can do, not what they can't. I promote independence and well-being and consider working in this sector to be a privilege, not a job.


I am dedicated to ensuring the delivery of high-quality care by my team and endeavour to create happiness amongst residents at Cherry Trees.


My door is always open if you wish to discuss your care or that of a loved one and I look forward to meeting you soon.
